Venerated Venomous Consort

After a brief examination, Gu Xijiu could already assess the extent of his injury. “Di Fuyi, am I not important to you at all? Why are you still trying to look tough even at this critical point!?” She complained.

Di Fuyi sighed. “I do not want you to be worried.” As a proud man, he did not want to be exposed in his moment of weakness in front of his woman. Moreover, he knew he could handle the injury. All he needed was time.

Although he was not even ten years old yet, he was physically and mentally an adult. He wanted to be a man that she could count on. A man should do everything he can to keep his woman away from trouble. On top of those reasons, he definitely did not want Gu Xijiu to see him as a child. Therefore, he needed to show her his best self.

His character was somewhat different from Celestial Master Zuo’s from the past. After all, Celestial Master Zuo had lived long enough to understand the realities of life. He did not care about anything at all, so he would do anything as he pleased. The teenage Di Fuyi was still different and cared about how Gu Xijiu perceived him.

Gu Xijiu looked at him intensely and said, “There is no need for you to act so strong in front of me. I will not laugh at you.” She started to try to treat the wound.

Di Fuyi found her words somewhat familiar to him. It was like deja vu. Curious, he started to make some mental calculations. Huang Tu must have been more than 10,000 years old before he was immortalized, and Gu Xijiu was only about 200 years old now. Deducting her years in heaven, they must have met when she was only a teenager.

A man that old must have found Gu Xijiu to be only a child at that age. Di Fuyi knew how much he cared for Gu Xijiu in his previous life. A woman like her, who was both strong and independent, would not ask for his help so easily, so he must have told her the same thing many times before. Their situations now were the opposite of how they were before.

He used to be jealous of his previous self, but things were slightly different now. Whether he was Huang Tu or Di Fuyi, she had fallen in love with him again without any confirmation of his actual identity. Her love for him was genuine. No obstacle could keep them apart anymore.

Di Fuyi was ecstatic by the thought. In fact, he was so happy that he could not even feel the pressure on his wound. He was smiling the whole time.

Gu Xijiu was using her spiritual power to put pressure on his wound in an attempt to draw the toxic blood out of his body by force. She knew that the process could be quite painful and was worried that he might not be able to take it. Therefore, she was surprised by the big smile on his face. “What are you laughing at? Is this not painful?”

How could he not feel any pain?

Di Fuyi answered very seriously, “It is painful. Baby, shower me with love, and it will be alright.”

Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke around, she believed that he must be able to manage the pain. Therefore, Gu Xijiu decided to continue the treatment without any concern.

However, having been brought back to reality, Di Fuyi finally realized that he could no longer take the pain. “Baby, can you be slightly gentle with me? It is painful.”

Gu Xijiu teased him, “It would be better for you if I pushed harder.” Fortunately for the man, she did not really mean it, and he could instantly tell that she was gentler with him.

The Firmament Stone suddenly interrupted her during the treatment. “I am not overthinking. I am not overthinking.”

Gu Xijiu was speechless. She raised her arm and sealed away all of the Firmament Stone’s senses.
